Topology Optimization Method Considering Cleaning Procedure and Ease of Manufacturing

چکیده
This chapter proposes a novel topology optimization method for the material distribution of electrical machines using the genetic algorithm (GA) combined with the cluster of material and the cleaning procedure. Moreover, the obtained rotor structure was assumed to consist of the simple shape of PMs in order to consider ease of manufacturing. The rotor structure of a permanent magnet (PM) synchro‐ nous motor is designed and manufactured. The optimized rotor has 32% more average torque than that of the experimental motor with the same stator. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.
